The people of our State are
buoyant with the bright prospects
of 1887 before them, and w. H.
Harmon and other drummers tell
us that the merchants make pur-
chases with more liberality and
confidence than for several years
past. These are cheering signs,
and our depressed citizens are al
ready beginning to show the good
effects of their renewed hopes, in
extra exertion and patient indus
try, while they look forward to the
"good time coming" for which
they have waited. SO long. Let us
hope that their brightest anticipa-

10th instant, We editor mounted his
nag and started on tour OF in
vestigation and recreation. Dusk
found us at the residence of DIR.
W. B. Stallings, formerly of Big
Creek, but who has lately pur-
chased the old Dan Fletcher place
near Calhoun's. The doctor is
pretty well fixed in his new quar-
tiers, and is as hospitable and en-
tertaining as any gentleman of the
old school to be found in all these
parts. The good people of ward
six are to be congratulated on such
valuable addition in their midst.
Friday evening we rode into
Montgomery and accepted the
invitation Of Judge Raglan to pass
the night at his house. AS usual
the judge labored with an impedi-
ment in his speech, but by the use
of signs we managed to carry on a
right smart conversation before
bed time. He is a great believer
in fine stock, fruits, etc., and his
pastures and orchards contain only
the very best
4 The stores of Mccain & Bro,
Harrison, Williams and others are
well supplied with goods, and all
look forward to a good business
season in spite of the short crops
of the two past years. The only
exception to the rule, we believe,
is the case of Mr.. Watson, who
it is said will have to suspend
business owing to his heavy losses.
We were sorry to learn of the
death of the wife of our we'll
known fellow-citizen j. M. Plum
kett, who died at her home near
Montgomery on the 10th instant.
Among the items of news picked
up in two hours pleasant confab
with the denizens Saturday morn
ing were the following: s. c. Curry
is able to hobble around on crutches,
having been laid up with severe
cut on his foot received while hew-
ing timber. A storm passed over
w. j. Ammons' place doing con-
siderable injury, the principal
damage being sustained by Mr..
Long, who had every building on
, his place demolished except the
house he lived in. We crossed the
track of the storm in two or three
places, and judging from the way
| it felled the timber it was pretty
lively blow. 1t was whispered
confdentially that the itch was
prevailing in town, and we fell
: rather dubious upon shaking hands
with several of the boys and girls
: Prof. W. j. Calvitt has fine school

RAILROAD SURVEYING PARTY.
The surveyors of the railroad
which is to pass through Grant
parish were seen at Atlanta, Winn
parish, on Saturday 18th inst, by
Messrs. Nj. F. Machen and Henry
Bernstein. The line they are
running lies about a half mile east
of that place. AS yet it has not
been determined whether the road
will pass ON the east or west side
of the Iatt from that point on the
way to Alexandria. In either case
it will run close to Colfax.

4 MURDERED TRAHP'S PAPERS.

In overhaUling some old papers
in the Office of the county commits
sioner az Wheeling, W. Va, docu.
meats were found having a face
value of about 100000 They
bore the signature Lowell Gore,
and recall the mysterious death Of
a man by that name in Ohio coun-
ty five years ago. In the summer
of 1882 a dirty, unkempt and rag
ged stranger made his appearance
on the old National pike, near the
village of Triadelphia. He was
seated in a miserable apology for a
wagon, piled full OF rags, old iron,
bones, and all sorts of odds and
ends, the vehicle being drawn by
an old and decrepit horse. That
evening the old man encamped by
the roadside, where he ate frugal
meal begged from a neighbOring
farm. house. The next morning
some people of the neighborhood
found him unconscious and almost
dead from an assault which had
been made upon him during the
night, while his clothing and the
wagon had evidently been search
ed by some one having knowledge
of valuables in his possession. He
died the next day in the county in
frmary. Sewed in bis coat were
found several letters and papers,
but they we're only subjected to
very superficial examination, tor
the purpose Of learning the name
OF the man, and were then sent to
Wheeling where they were tossed
into a pigeOn.hOle at the court
house. Mondays examination Of
these papers showed them 10 con.
sist OF promissory notes, bonds,
deeds to Vermont land, and other
evidences OF wealth to the aggre-
gate of $4,000. The papers are
now in the hands Of a special com
miItee Of the Board of COmmis-
siOners
